Good morning, Norfolk.

Norfolk hosts a three-day Patriotic Festival on Memorial Day Weekend to honor military service and offer free activities like live music, games, tours, and a meet-and-greet with military dogs.

Free plaza events start today at 3 p.m. at Scope Arena—Grunt Style sells shirts with all profits going to Children of the Fallen Patriots.

Restoration to the 175-year-old dome at the MacArthur Memorial is underway and will finish this fall.

The project—funded by the city—repairs rotted wood and repaints the historic structure that once served as Norfolk’s first city hall, now housing General MacArthur’s resumé.

Lynnhaven River Now is using $2.9 million in federal funds to remove 35 abandoned vessels, including the Carrie Anne from Navy property along Willoughby Bay.

Restoration manager Vince Bowhers said the cleanup will prevent dangerous boats from being sold—thus reducing hazards to navigation and water pollution.

Virginia Wesleyan’s softball team beat Gettysburg 10-1 in Game 2 of the NCAA super regionals and advanced to the Division III championship round — Olivia Knight and Morgan Tucker helped drive key runs during a six-run inning that sealed the win.
